muse


Spent Friday at a beautiful, but desolate lake set amidst some low, rolling hills on the Karnataka border - trying my hand at everything from bending my glasses out of shape by hitting them with a volleyball (unfortunately, while wearing them) to a bit of rappelling down a dam (that hasn't seen water in the last few years). It was a fun trip, even if on the tamer side. High points included riding on top of the bus down little village roads - while trying to dodge the occasionally tree trunk that'd try to brush us off; and trying to stay upright on a toboggan masquerading as water ski's (don't ask) on the lake.

Spiderman 2 was a decent watch, but couldn't hold a candle to the high point of the weekend - I've finally got myself a working beta of Halo 2. To the uninitiated, this is an XBOX game that mostly involves shooting other equally insane people in the head.

"Halo 2 is a lot like Halo 1, only it's Halo 1 on fire, going 130 miles per hour through a hospital zone, being chased by helicopters and ninjas ... And, the ninjas are all on fire, too."
